openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2023/50

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Full steam ahead to the end of the year. It seems nothing makes Tumbleweed slow down. The number of requests coming in keeps being high and you had the chance to upgrade your machine 7 times this week.

The seven snapshots (1207…1213) of this week brought you these changes:

  • KDE Plasma 5.27.10
  • KDE Gear 23.08.4
  • Late-comers of GNOME 45.2 (i.e mutter)
  • Tar 1.35
  • util-linux 2.39.3
  • Mozilla Firefox 120.0.1
  • Linux kernel 6.6.6

The next snapshot is already on the way to the mirrors, Stagings are ready to move on and we can confirm the following changes being worked on:

  • KDE Frameworks 5.113.0
  • Boost 1.84.0
  • cURL 8.5.0
  • RPM 4.19.x
  • cmake 3.28.1 (ceph still failing to build)
  • Ruby 3.3 tests have started (yast failures identified so far)
  • libxml 2.12.x: slow progress
  • openSSL 3.2.0
  • c-ares 1.21.0: breaks nodejs
